In this episode, we're taking things slow. You know, dreams aren't what they used to be. Some things slide by so carelessly. We need to be present in the moment and not worry too much about the past or the future. Jay, Katie, and Emma take a seat at the table of life and hear someone calling their names from the back of the restaurant. If you couldn't tell, this is a silly one.

Skip to 20 minutes in if you want to avoid our yapping about Hot Fuss 20. Otherwise, this week we are talking about Tranquilize! It's the underappreciated lead single off of Sawdust that we all love, and judging by the runtime, we had a lot to say.

In our last episode pre-Hot Fuss 20, peace of mind is actually very hard to find. Tune in to hear us reminisce about 2016 and discuss the religious themes of this song and how it fits into Sam's Town as a whole. Enjoy!

This week we are very excited to talk about Spaceman! Everyone loves Spaceman. We've never met someone who didn't like Spaceman. Except that one UFO expert who discredited Brandon's abduction story. Strap in!

It's time to bunker down and figure out if Cody actually started the fire. In this episode, we discuss more of Pressure Machine's themes and how it fits in with the rest of the album.

This week, we're out of our minds for Out Of My Mind! After nineteen episodes, we tackle our first song off Wonderful Wonderful, so we take a moment to discuss what we were all doing in 2017. Once that's out of the way, topics include Paul McCartney, Juliet Capulet, and The Man himself.

Eighteen episodes in, we finally get to talk about Sam's Town. Emma struggled with the weight of this task but we persevered. Topics of discussion include main street (what did you expect?), the desire to escape the place you're stuck in, and the overall meaning of Sam's Town. This episode is extra long because we got to talk to our friend Sam about her favorite song!

HEY HEY HEY HEY! We hope you have your dancing shoes on for today's episode! Listen to hear us talk about more betrayal, Battle Born's weird song order, and more roads. Brandon sure loves metaphors about roads and streets.

(Forgive the audio issues in the first 20 minutes. They get resolved!) In this behemoth of an episode, we talk about West Hills for entirely too long. Topics include horses, how many kids this woman has, and Katie's love of West Hills III.

Strap in to your life jackets, everyone! In this episode, we're taking on the ebb and flow of The Rising Tide. Somehow, we still end up back on the street. On our journey, we promise to provide you with important topics of conversation, including the secret trios and siblings of Battle Born, an inexplicable feeling of missing Mark and Dave, and Brandon's... pen.

We're talking about Fire In Bone this week! Strap in for Bible School with Katie, a lesson on friendship from Emma, and Jay teaches us the importance of internet safety (or, she does Katie).

The Killersluts take a dive into This Is Your Life to discuss Candy and her hair, class inequality, and the sound that Ronnie makes halfway into the song. Be warned: this episode was rife with technical difficulties, and by the time the recording had started, we had gone crazy. Enjoy!

We sit down to try and figure out what Brandon's saying in this episode: Show You How! Discussion includes Hot Fuss era forum posts, untitled.mp3, voicemails, and songmeanings.com. You heard it here first: Show You How is one of The Killers' top ten hardest songs.

Recorded on January 24th, 2024, we talk about Somebody Told Me while riding the high of scoring tickets to the Vegas residency. Needless to say, things get a little crazy. Topics include: behind the scenes of the music video, the entirety of Sawdust being played at this club, and who exactly Brandon is breaking his back over. (Spoiler alert: it's me.)

In this episode, we lose touch with reality and imagine what it must have been like to be a 27-year-old Brandon Flowers immediately after his very own sophomore slump (not that we think that of Sam's Town). Sit back and relax as we ramble on yet again about how Day & Age is a metaphor for the seven stages of grief.

On this episode of KSP, we play in the space of Andy You're a Star. Imagine you're a loser in a small town and you have a huge crush on the most popular guy in school. You can't help but notice that your favorite jock hasn't shown up at school today and--wait. Who is that in his car?

In 2004, Daddy's Eyes was conceived. Twenty years later, KSP sat down to talk about it and went a little crazy in the process. Topics of discussion include cheating, the glove that will bring it all to light, and the gender of Brandon's synth. WARNING: This one will make you cry (source: Brandon Flowers, 2004).

Today, KSP is talking about Terrible Thing, Katie's #24 most-listened-to song of 2021 according to Spotify Wrapped. We discuss the salt creek, bulls, and the feeling of isolation that comes with not fitting the mold of your small town.

Brandon Flowers has been killing just for fun—or has he? The Killersluts Podcast cracks open this 8-year-old cold case and finds it isn't as black and white as they remembered. The answers have been in front of us for over a decade, hiding behind the visage of one jolly St. Nick. Strap in to unveil the mystery.

In this extra special, extra-long episode, KSP discusses Battle Born: the song, the album, the era, the state of mind. Relevant topics include the barricade walk, girls gone wild, arpeggios, trains, and YOU!

The KSP girls are throwing caution. Topics include: the dread of buying concert tickets, Cats The Musical (thanks, Katie), and changing for the better even when it hurts.

Katie, Emma, and Jay discuss undying love in death, finding ineffable things in the mundane, and one of our generation's most important questions: can two become one? They also talk about trains. They just can't stop talking about trains.
